Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has explained why he still lives in a modest townhouse despite having become the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL.
Jefferson is one of the wideouts featured in the new Netflix series, ‘Receiver,’ in which we learned he lives in a $405K residence.
He was asked about it while speaking to reporters at training camp this week and pointed out that he doesn’t have a huge family and doesn’t need a mansion.
“I’m one person, I ain’t got no big family,’ he said, per Jeff Wald, who posted a video of the explanation to social media. “I don’t need to be in no $10 million mansion, that’s not something I came from”
“I grew up with parents that were grateful for what they had, and I was grateful for what I grew up with,” he added. “I never grew up having no big old house, maybe I’ll move onto that, maybe not. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later.”
